There is no sewer system inside and the sewage from ice factories, fish cleaning and fish auction hall just meanders around going nowhere.

Garbage including old fishing nets, food waste, broken thermocol containers, plastic covers, disposable cups, waste from boat-making and old spare parts can be found littered all round the harbour..
